Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Literature, Critical Theory, and Black Ecologies. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

This virtual event will explore how Black writers--across literatures and in quotidian Black expressive cultures-- script, narrate, reimagine, theorize, and counter the order naturalizing Black vulnerability and ecocide as well as how these writers generate new epistemes for imagining a different order.
